What brand is the Haval M6 transmission?

Haval M6 transmission is produced by Getrag. Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission System Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Germany's Getrag Group and Jiangling Motors Group, established as a provider of transmission technology products and services, officially commencing operations in January 2007 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. The Haval M6 transmission uses either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the engine's speed and torque delivered to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve different traction and speed under various conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating. For the Haval M6 transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission models, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission models, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat and may result in a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift directly into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, using manual mode to lock in lower gears or sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) and placed onto the tow bed. Using a tow rope or directly towing the vehicle is not recommended.
Having been in the automotive industry for so many years and driven various cars, the Haval M6's transmission is typically developed in-house by Great Wall, especially the automatic models which come with Great Wall's 7-speed wet dual-clutch. For manual transmissions, they might have used Aisin or supplies from Tangshan in the past, but now it's mostly standardized. The gear shifts are relatively smooth, fuel consumption isn't high, and it's perfectly fine for daily commuting. Remember to change the oil during maintenance to avoid overheating issues. The transmission design is quite sturdy, rarely encountering problems even after 100,000 kilometers, making it more economical compared to joint-venture brands. Choosing Haval is all about its reliable in-house components and good cost control. If you're considering buying a used car, checking for smooth gear shifts is a key point.
I've been driving my Haval M6 for almost three years now, equipped with Great Wall's in-house 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The manual version might use external suppliers, but the automatics are all Great Wall's own. It's actually quite comfortable to use—quick off the line, smooth gear shifts on the highway, and noticeably fuel-efficient. Maintenance is affordable too; changing oil or parts isn't as pricey as with imported cars. For my daily city commute, dealing with traffic lights, this transmission has been stable with no hiccups. Regular lubrication during servicing helps extend its lifespan. Compared to other SUVs, Haval keeps it practical—no frills, just reliability. After buying, pay attention to the transmission's condition, especially avoiding hard acceleration during cold starts in winter.
